We usually stay in Tokelau GV. It is an equal distance to the TTC or the Monorail stop at the GCH. Several times we have gotten the view that overlooks the quiet pool.
As for alcoholic beverages -- they sell beers in cans and wine in bottles at the Poly gift shop, so I don't think they'd care if you brought it to the pool. They might have restrictions about glass containers near the pool, though. The pool bar uses plastic cups.
